Trail End State Historic Site Holiday Open House

An annual tradition for over thirty years, the Holiday Open House is sponsored by the Trail End Guilds, Inc., and is always held the first full weekend of December. The event features live entertainment (see schedule below) and holiday decorations throughout the spectacular 1913 Kendrick Mansion.

Open House hours are always from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday of December. Admission is two dollars for adults. Children are admitted at no charge, but must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Our bevy of musical guests begin their performances at 4:00 and continue through 7:00. Either before or after enjoying some of our legendary Figgy Pudding and Hot Cider in the Kitchen or Butlers’ Pantry (food and drink are not allowed in any other part of the house), step into the Drawing Room to enjoy some of Sheridan’s finest musicians.
